Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

"It's changed a lot. You can tell from the title."

After making the decision to go to Taiyuan, Huang He immediately began to pack his belongings and prepared to leave for the border airport.

Although the location of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau is relatively remote, the organization has specially arranged a special car for the bureau, and it only takes half an hour to reach the destination.

The two chatted while driving on the road, and the atmosphere in the entire cab was very lively. Looking at Wang Dexing with a silly smile on his face, Huang He couldn't help but tease:

"I haven't seen you so energetic during training. Why are you so happy when you hear that you are going back to Shanxi?"

"Could it be that you still have a lover in the southeastern Shanxi base? Do you want me to help you matchmake and try to solve your lifelong event?"

Huang He has always been gentle to his subordinates.

As long as the other party does not violate the discipline of the army, everything can be discussed.

As his own guard, he saw Wang Dexing's efforts. In the past two years, not only has his cultural level improved by leaps and bounds to the level of a high school graduate.

He also mastered a variety of military skills, and after a intensive training, he was even qualified to participate in the assessment of the Marine Corps.

Such an excellent young man, if he really fell in love with a girl, Huang He would not mind playing matchmaker.

Facing the leader's ridicule, Wang Dexing shook his head embarrassedly. He quickly changed the subject, trying to cover up his shyness.

"Don't make fun of me, I can handle my own affairs."

"When will you, the director, settle your lifelong affairs? You are indeed not as good as Director Zeng in this regard. He has quietly won an 18-year-old female student."

"Ah?"

It was just a casual chat, but I didn't expect to eat a big melon.

When Huang He thought of the time traveler Qiang with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and actually fell in love secretly, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

The director had been married twice. The first one was separated because of the war. When the two met again, the other party had remarried and was forced to cut off contact.

The second one was a German girl, and they met in the north.

Although the two had a good emotional foundation and entered the palace of marriage. However, because the woman was unwilling to come to the difficult border area, they had no choice but to break up.

The third one is the current one, and Huang He only knows the other party's name and age.

Going to Taiyuan is certainly important, but the transport plane of the Air Force 1st Division needs time to prepare before taking off. Using the time difference to go to the Military Industry Bureau will definitely not delay anything.

"Let's go! Let's go find Lao Zeng!"

After making up his mind, Huang He immediately asked Wang Dexing to change the route.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the military industry area. Because there was a logo of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau on the truck, the guards did not stop them and let them go directly.

"Hey, Director Huang!"

"Do you have any official business today? If you want to find Director Zeng, go directly to the shooting range. He is testing new weapons there."

According to the guidance of an acquaintance, Huang He took Wang Dexing to the indoor shooting range of the Military Industry Bureau, which is used to test new weapons with small and medium power.

"Pa x 8!"

"Ding!"

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

In the closed environment, the sound of gunfire and the crisp sound of metal are very pleasant. Combined with the cry of pain just now, Huang He has guessed that the new weapon should be the M1 Garand rifle.

This thing is a good thing. Although it has not been introduced in China for a long time, it has already made a great reputation.

This weapon is not inferior to the current standard rifle of the Eighth Route Army in terms of effective range, accuracy and lethality. From the perspective of various papers, it is far superior to the Type 38 rifle that the devils are proud of.

The most important thing is that the Garand is a semi-automatic rifle.

The extremely fast rate of fire allows it to suppress enemies that are several times larger than itself on the battlefield with firepower.

But here comes the problem. In Huang He's impression, this rifle has just undergone a major modification, and it was not officially finalized until last year.

According to the nature of the ugly country, the most advanced weapons will definitely not be sold.

But now a finished product has appeared in the shooting range of the Military Industry Bureau, which is more or less unreal.

Maybe, it's an early version?

Thinking of this, Huang He trotted to the shooting position. Then, with his hairstyle, he accurately locked the director in the crowd.

"Lao Zeng, what good stuff did you get?"

"This gun should be the Garand of the Ugly Country. Do you have a plan for reverse deduction?"

"Have the first draft design drawings come out? I have quite some experience in rifle design. Do you need my help?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Chuanchuan Qiang turned back suddenly with a little surprise.

After not seeing him for a month, his hairline has become more dangerous. I don't know if it's because of love or work.

"You came at the right time. We just encountered a technical problem."

"It seems that you also know this new semi-automatic rifle of the Ugly Country. Let's shoot a magazine first to try it out."

After taking over the unfamiliar weapon, Huang He took a deep breath and began to load it carefully.

Although the Garand has many advantages, it is difficult for any weapon to be perfect. It also has a very obvious disadvantage, that is, it pinches fingers!

Whether it is a veteran or a recruit, as long as you use this gun, there is a possibility of being hit.

This is because before loading the magazine, the rifle will be in an empty chamber state. But once the magazine is loaded, the recoil spring is often too strong, causing the rifle to recoil very quickly. If the user's hand speed is too slow at this time, there is a high probability that the finger will be bitten.

After being mentally prepared, Huang He placed the back of his palm on the charging handle and pressed down the magazine with his thumb.

Facts have proved that he was lucky and the tragedy did not happen.

After nearly two years of training, Huang He is no longer the rookie with poor marksmanship.

He raised the rifle with the left side of his body facing the target, aligned the sight hole, front sight and target, and then pulled the trigger after confirming the aim.

After the eighth bullet was fired, the magazine was ejected with a ding sound.

At a distance of fifty meters, a total of seven of the eight bullets hit the target. For a non-combat sequence researcher, this is a pretty good result.

"How about it? Isn't it much more powerful compared to Da Shuan?"

"This Garand was dug out of a warehouse in Taiyuan. It is probably a weapon captured by the First Army from the Jinsui Army."

"After all, the only troops in Shanxi that have the connections and financial strength to purchase American equipment are the elite ones like Yan Laoxi."

After hearing the director's words, Huang He briefly recalled the feeling of shooting just now, and made a horizontal comparison with Japanese weapons, magic weapons, and Su weapons.

In terms of shooting feel alone, Garand may not be the best. However, this is related to personal usage habits. Another person may have different feelings.

But if compared to the overall smoothness of the firearm, the semi-automatic rifle is definitely the best.

"It's very good. If the troops can be equipped with this weapon, there will definitely be a qualitative leap in firepower."

"With our existing production equipment, we should be able to build Garand's production line. Bring the drawings and let me see how far you have come."

The director did not write any ink and took the first draft of the drawing directly from the orderly on the side.

Due to insufficient research time, only one-third of the reverse engineering of the semi-automatic rifle was completed, and many major parts were not drawn.

Only then did Huang He remember that there was a substitute in the Awakening Yonghu system. This can't be blamed on his carelessness, the main reason is that there are too many weapons that can be researched by the scientific research slot.

What's more, the decision to "focus on the development of light weapons" was unlocked a year ago.

The reason why semi-automatic rifles were not launched immediately was not because of the shortage of resources, but because new weapons require a certain learning cost.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army had not yet broken the blockade of the Japanese cage policy, and there was simply not enough time for the soldiers to adapt to a new weapon that they had never been exposed to.

Moreover, the army's literacy campaign was still in progress at that time, and the military skills of grassroots soldiers were not solid enough.

If you want to learn the maintenance and use of a semi-automatic rifle, you may be slow to master it and it will take a long time to learn.

But now the situation has changed, and the Eighth Route Army has enough time to regain Jin Province.

After two years of silent development, both the Border Region Military Industry Bureau and the Logistics Department of Southeast Shanxi have sufficient productivity, and there is little pressure to replace them with semi-automatic rifles.

Moreover, the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun has poor portability and may be unable to follow the infantry when they advance at full speed. It is difficult to fully suppress the Japanese infantry with the combination of Mas36+Fm24/29 alone.

At this time, a semi-automatic rifle that is easy to carry and has better firepower is more suitable for the army.

The decision is yours! Mas44!

After returning the drawing to the director, Huang He showed an incomprehensible expression, then patted the other party on the shoulder and said:

"Don't study the Garand. That bullet is 7.62mm. Even if you deduce it backwards, the caliber will have to be changed. What's more, we don't have a production license, and we may be asked for debt by then."

"In a few days, I will give you a French-style semi-automatic rifle. Not only are the bullets and some parts common, but the performance will be even better. It even has a special grenade launcher and sight."

"The old rules are still a complete set of production lines and drawings. When the time comes, the new equipment will be troublesome to your Military Industry Bureau. I have something to go to Shanxi to stay for a while."

Looking at the confused Chuan Qiang, Huang continued with a proud expression:

"I heard that you hooked up with an eighteen-year-old female student, so I won't be responsible for finding you a wife."

"I really didn't realize that you still had this kind of ability. You are already thirty-six years old, which is twice as old as me. How can you do this to such a young girl who has no experience in the world?"

"Remember to introduce me next time, bye."

After showing off, Huang He took Wang Dexing and ran away without saying a word, leaving only the director in a mess in the wind.

······

Fifteen minutes later, border airport.

Huang He originally wanted to go straight to Principal Chang's office, but the Fighters, Hurricane fighter jets and busy ground crew on the tarmac made him realize that something big was going on.

Under normal circumstances, the border airport is only partially escorted by fighter planes and air train transport aircraft.

Bringing the fighter back now means a big battle is about to happen. Even the First Air Division needs to go all out to replace the old biplane fighters with the more advanced Hurricanes.

With speculation, Huang He found Captain Wang Hai from among the pilots who cooperated with the ground crew preparations. Immediately afterwards, the two came to a deserted corner.

"Captain, does the First Air Division have a mission?"

"I just saw that all the fighter jets are fully loaded with weapons. Is it the Army Aviation of the Kwantung Army that invaded Shanxi from the direction of Suiyuan?"

In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the entire North China Front Army Air Force was wiped out by the First Air Division.

From Huanghe's strategic perspective, the only enemy left that can pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army is the Kwantung Army. After all, the other party was a force that had confronted Zhukov before, so it was reasonable to have enough fighters.

After hearing the question, Captain Wang Hai did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around to make sure no one spoke.

"Director, have you forgotten what day today is?

As soon as he said this, Huang He blurted out the words "Children's Day", but he soon discovered the problem. It is now 1941, and Children’s Day was not established until eight years later.

"June 1st, June 1st? What's so special about it?"

Before he finished speaking, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Four days later, a major event will occur, which will later be called one of the three major tragedies in China during the Anti-Japanese War.

"I almost forgot about Yamashiro, damn me."

"No wonder the Kongyi Division has to dispatch the entire army. It turns out that the opponent this time is Hainan Airlines' Zero fighter. Then I'll leave it to you. You must stop the enemy in advance."

Captain Wang Hai nodded very seriously. It could be seen from his slightly white finger joints that the other party was not at peace inside.

"Don't worry, it's just some early models."

"With the performance of the Spitfire MK9, it is definitely more than enough to deal with those lighters. The Hurricane may suffer slightly, but as long as you are not determined to fight, you will still be able to use the advantage of numbers."

"This time, tragedy will not happen."

During the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, Baldhead sent a telegram for help to the Desperate Foxes and Army Morale Wizards.

In exchange for sending troops, the bosses asked Guozu to send planes to send the ideological crusaders back to the border areas. This battle was led by Zhou in mid-May.

In the past, neither preserved fruits nor the border areas had the ability to stop the bombing of the Japanese army and navy.

After all, the former only has dozens of anti-aircraft guns, and they are distributed in various industrial areas and strategic locations. The latter is even more miserable, with almost no field air defense capabilities.

But now that the Eighth Route Army has an empty division, there is no reason not to destroy the enemies entrenched in central China.

As a friendly force, Desperate Fox even sent a telegram on June 1 to inform Bald Head of the details of this combat plan. No matter what, you have to fly over other people's territory, and not saying hello is a provocation.

But Bianqu completely ignored the bald head’s protest and replied in an extremely domineering tone:

"I'm just informing you, not negotiating. If you can guard it, I won't interfere. If you can't guard it, we won't confirm that people will be killed."

"If you dare, hit me with an anti-aircraft gun!"

From now on, I will just let it happen if I have perfect attendance, and a similar situation will not happen again. I'm sorry.
